Can you cure dry mouth? Unfortunately, curing dry mouth is not possible. We’re sorry if you’re suffering from dry mouth, and we will do all we can to aid you manage it. The following are a few things you should understand about dry mouth.

The mission of xerostomia treatment is to identify its causes, address them and thwart further complications. Xerostomia can be addressed in multiple ways, and Dr. Lyndel Stripling will support you to choose the greatest option for your specific situation. This will probably include prescribing a saliva replacement or working with your doctors to prescribe medicines that don’t have the side effect of producing dry mouth.

Xerostomia is a dental condition where the oral cavity feels dry all the time. It stems from a shortage of spit development, and it can be caused by medicines, medical conditions, radiation and more. To treat xerostomia, your doctor may prescribe a saliva substitute. Xerostomia can cause harmful side effects like intense oral discomfort and difficulty speaking, chewing, swallowing and breathing. Dr. Lyndel Stripling inspects patients for xerostomia during every appointment at Lake Highlands Dental.
